Recommendations for a good "smart signal booster" and/or a good "cellular repeater"
Hello! I am moving to a quasi remote area - I say quasi because it's a place with nothing but rich people who own horses and a lot of land and a cool central town, but because of the remoteness of the area, NOBODY - yes I checked and I do mean NOBODY - can provides internet access to the place I'm moving into.
Therefore, as someone who uses the internet a lot for everything from my phone to pc/xbox 360 gaming to work on my laptop to simple browsing, etc., my only option is to change my current phone plan with AT&T to on of their Mobile Share plans, which will allow my pc/xbox to access internet through my phone (a Lumia 1520), either wirelessly or plugging the phone directly into the devices.
All of that is fine. EXCEPT.
I visited the place last week and while I get reception out there, at least that day it averaged about 2-4 bars of 4g reception, whereas in my current apartment/area I can get 3-5 bars of LTE.
Now, I still have to test how well my laptop and xbox perform on the 2-4 bar 4G level of reception, I came across something that recommended getting one or both of these things called "smart signal boosters" and "cellular repeaters." I know nothing about them, but if one or both can help me boost my signal to LTE-level quality, I'm VERY interested in purchasing.
That said, I don't know anything about those items, and I want to purchase the right items the first time.
So, my question is, does anyone have any experience or knowledge about signal boosters and/or cellular repeaters? Which of the two is best for my situation? And can anyone recommend any models/brands/etc.? Or perhaps a site dedicated to these kinds of items with reviews and ratings, etc.?
Let me know if you need any more details about my situation in order for you to give me the best advice. Thanks in advance to ANY and ALL help!
